This July and August, you can try one of these 100 highly-rated homes, at all price points, and experience a local’s view of Sonoma. 24-hour check-in, Instant Book, and local wine and snacks let you just sit back and enjoy your trip.

Cockatoo Cottage is furnished with antiques and fine linens; it overlooks tropical, cottage, and native gardens, with abundant birdlife. Set on 4 acres in the beautiful Samford Valley. Very quiet location, yet less than 4 minutes from Samford village, and some 30 minutes from Brisbane central.

The cottage is newly built, with fresh new bathroom, and granite top kitchenette. It has a ceiling fan and air conditioning (cooling and heating) for your comfort, and is fully screened with crimsafe.
The suite is furnished with a queen size mahogany bed, the finest of white linens (100% pure white cotton) with accents by Laura Ashley, or Martha Stewart. ALL of the soft furnishings -not just the bed linen - are laundered, as we pride ourselves on the space being meticulously clean.
The large area also includes a wardrobe, soft and comfortable leather sofa (which converts to a double bed), dining table, kitchenette, flat screen television, and bathroom with shower.
There is an outdoor area, paved with granite tiles, on which you can enjoy a morning cuppa with the birds, or evening drink under the stars. This looks out on to a cottage garden, and tropical garden backdrop, which then leads down to a swimming pool, which you are welcome to use; pool/beach towels are provided for you.
The kitchenette provides a sink, kettle, toaster, microwave, and bar fridge.
The fridge is stocked with homemade butter, pure honey (from our beehives), homemade peanut paste, jams and marmalades. We grow what we can ourselves and everything else is sourced locally and organically.
We will provide your choice of freshly baked bread for toast, cereals, muesli or oats for porridge. Also, milk, juice, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. The fruit bowl will be full of seasonal fruits.
There is an electric gate to access the property, and you will be given a remote control key to use for the duration of your stay. Access is then via a pathway from the shared driveway/parking area, and up sandstone steps to the main entry door of the cabin. You are most welcome to enjoy the garden and swimming pool area, all set on 4 acres (of largely bushland).
We have travelled widely ourselves, and enjoy interaction with guests, but we do consider your privacy as extremely important, and you are left to initiate any contact during your stay. We are always happy to provide tips on good local restaurants and points of interest.

This is a quiet area with only the birds to make noise. It is situated on 4 acres, as are most of the properties in the area. You will usually see no other people during your stay; plenty of birdlife, and the chance of seeing wallabies.
Samford village has some great cafes, which are very popular, and provides all the essentials (including locally made fruit gelato, which is getting quite a reputation). For takeaways, you can bring home Thai, fish and chips, organic chicken and chips (or roasted vegetables), gourmet pizzas, Indian and Chinese. Quite a choice, for a small village. No McDonalds or KFC etc here. The local IGA has a deli, and provides ready to eat salads. There is a patisserie, and bakery (who add no preservatives, and bake fresh each day).
Dining options include the popular local pub, Flying Nun Cafe, Ya Ya Tapas Bar, Allegria (Italian) and Topiaries Beaumont; all of which are 2 - 4 minutes drive away.
Yugar and its surrounding areas are appreciated by those who enjoy nature; mountains, creeks, waterfalls, wildlife, trees and rainforest. It serves as the starting point for the Mt Mee Tourist Drive, with its winding road, cafes, and winery, and Mt Glorious Tourist Drive to quaint cafes, rainforest walks and lookouts.
Brisbane International Airport is under 40 minutes drive, as is the Brisbane CBD. The Sunshine Coast is just over an hour's drive from here, with beautiful Noosa a further 30 minutes (it's worth the extra drive).
If you are attending a wedding or event at nearby Topiaries Beaumont Function Centre in Draper, this accommodation is exactly 1.4 km away from this beautiful venue. It is also conveniently located to Samsonvale Hall.
As there is no public transport in this area, a vehicle is essential. The village, which provides most needs, is under 4 minutes drive away. Then, through to the other side of the National Park for 10 minutes, you will find Ferny Grove which provides rail transport in to the city of Brisbane.
There is no public transport nearby, and so, it is necessary to have a car to get to Samford village and its facilities.
Whilst the suite does not have a washing machine or dryer inside, we are happy to wash a basket of clothing for you, and there is a clothesline easily accessible. (We know how hard it can be to get laundry done when you're travelling!) There is also a laundromat in the village.
Please note, we have a friendly border collie dog and gentle giant German Shepherd, who will usually meet and greet you, but then leave you in peace. They are kept inside in the main house at night.
We have beehives which provide all of our delicious honey; these are a long way off from the cottage, and you would need to walk to the bottom of the property to find them. But best not to go to within a couple of metres of the hives themselves. You may see bees in the flower gardens going about their business, but they are not aggressive unless under threat.

My parents stayed here for 3 nights whilst visiting the Grandchildren. They had nothing but good words to say about the venue and the Hosts. Thanks Nette and Andrew for making them feel so welcome, much appreciated.

TerryJuly 2016

Nette went the extra mile to make us feel very welcome. Beautiful surroundings, nestled in the foothills of Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious. Lots of walks and within 5 minutes drive to lovely Samford Village which has very nice cafes and quaint shops. Our three day stay in October was great and my husband and I will definitely stay at Cockatoo Cottage again. Lyn & Bill Roe

LyndellOctober 2016

Jeanette and Andrew were quintessential hosts. From the warm and friendly welcome despite it being later at night through to the provision of very useful information throughout our 8 night stay, they could not have been more helpful. The evening around the fire pit was spectacular. We will stay again and would highly recommend Cockatoo Cottage as a top destination.

DavidJuly 2016

Booked for family who were visiting for my wedding and they couldn't speak highly enough of the place! Very satisfied.

KirstyOctober 2016

We loved our 3 day stay, hope to return again, and highly recommend Cockatoo Cottage. Nette & Andrew were friendly welcoming helpful but unobtrusive hosts. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and a delight to stay in. Bed was comfortable and there is a big couch just right for relaxing. We saw cockatoos each morning while we ate breakfast outside. Nette provided a yummy breakfast basket with fruit, juice, fresh baked bread and organic muesli. There was homemade passion fruit yoghurt in the fridge which was really lovely. There was also condiments, tea and coffee etc. There is a great eclectic collection of books, but too little time to peruse them all. There are lovely walks nearby and a good exercise track in the village. Samford Village, less than 5 min drive away, has lots of good restaurants and coffee shops, supermarket, and all the basic shops. Wifi is not available in the cottage but Nette said it worked down by the pool. There is a microwave but no other cooking facilities but we enjoyed eating out at the different restaurants and cafes only a few minutes drive away.

RochelleMarch 2016

Loved staying with Nette and Andrew. Cockatoo cottage is adorable and they are very hospitable hosts. Breakfast was great! The grounds around their house are beautiful too! We especially appreciated Nette's tips for attractions in the area and around our next destination, Cairns. Hopefully we can come back some day!

WillOctober 2016

We had a great stay at Cockatoo cottage and were made really welcome by Nette and Andrew. Nette was more than helpful, and Andrew picked up a takeaway Thai meal for us. I enjoyed sitting out by pool and catching up with my work on my laptop, then taking a dip in pool. We were able to sit outside and have our breakfast watching the antics of the Cockatoos and Rosella. Definitely recommended for a country setting only a few minutes drive from Brisbane.

RobMarch 2016

Lovely stay for a wedding at Topiaries venue. The house is very spacious studio and in beautiful surroundings. No effort was spared to make us feel welcome. Nette was away for our visit, but excellent communication meant it was no problem at all and we were still met in person and very well looked after by her housekeeper. It was everything we hoped for and more! Thank you!

The Red Shed is a modern open plan space located 100m from our family home. With stunning expansive views across the beautiful D'Aguilar Mountains it is only a short drive to Samford Valley and the township of Dayboro. The perfect retreat for couples, solo-adventurers looking to explore the local area, and those needing to just recoup from everyday life, it is ideal for unwinding after a day exploring or just relaxing after a game of tennis on your own private court.

The Red Shed consists of the living shed and also the bathroom shed that is adjacent to the main shed. Please note that this is two separate rooms and a walk outside is required to access the bathroom.
You are welcome to use the tennis court and will find tennis rackets and balls in the box on the court.

Please respect our neighbourhood and keep noise to a minimum.
Please note that this is a non-smoking property. Please do not smoke in or around The Red Shed.

Great place. Beautiful views in a unique setting

WillOctober 2016

Ruth was very welcoming and assisted us greatly by allowing us to have a late checkout. The sunset was beautiful and it was a rustic experience. The bathroom was spotless and really clean. There was plenty of space to spread out in the red shed.

DeborahOctober 2016

The Red Shed was stunning. Unfortunately I was unable to enjoy it for as long as I would have liked but the night I spent there was perfect. Crisp clean mountain air with the perfect bed and doona to snuggle under. The bathroom was also super sweet with everything that you need.

JanaNovember 2016

We loved our stay at the Red Shed, it was more comfortable than we expected, and the atmosphere of the countryside is so peaceful. We will definately stay there again.

The Birder's Cottage sits about 100 metres from our residence - The Mountain House. Acre after acre of the surrounding native bushland is being lovingly restored to encourage native wildlife. Whether you are a keen naturalist or just getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life you can enjoy the abundance of birdlife including White-eared Monarch, Owlet and White-throated Nightjars, Wonga Pigeons and Emerald Doves. Mammals which are regulars to the property include Koala, Gliders, bg and a colony of Brush-tailed Phascogales.
There is one bedroom in the Cottage with either 2 singles or a queen bed and a couch in the living room that folds out to a full sized bed for flexibility in sleeping arrangements. The living space is open plan with sitting space, dining table and kitchen including full sized refrigerator and free standing stove unit. Coffee, tea, sugar and milk are provided plus you can find a few other staples in the kitchen.
Enjoy an afternoon on your private porch or have a glass of wine on The Mountain House veranda with great views overlooking Cedar Creek. On clear days you can even see Morton Bay.
Update - Based on guest feedback we have set up 'drips' in the forest to attract wildlife for photography. We now have 20 species of birds which regularly visit the water features.
Sit on the front porch or hike the 3 loop trails of over 4kms...private to the Mountain House and Birder's Cottage. A private gate limits access so you really need to like peace and quiet to love the Birder's Cottage!
We love to meet our guests and have a chat but also respect your privacy. So, feel free to come up to The Mountain House if you need anything or for some conversation.
Roger is a wealth of information of all sorts and a local wildlife nut. So, if you are looking for a place for a leisurely walk, more intensive hike or want to see the critters, just pick Roger's brain. He is happy to help with directions, mud maps to any target animals you may wish to target. He can provide you species lists too.
The back veranda of The Mountain House is a great place to enjoy breakfast or dinner. On weekends Megan can provide a cooked breakfast or dinner and on weekdays, breakfast hampers can be provided (meals not included in room rate). Just let us know when booking.

The Mountain House sits on a ridgeline among acreage properties, so quiet and peaceful but also close to Mt Glorious, Samford Village, 15 min drive to the train line into Brisbane CBD (30 min train ride).
We are 7 Kms to Samford Village with shops and takeaway.
30 Minutes to Mt Glorious Heritage Rainforest.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - peaceful, beautiful place. Wished it was for more than one night!

kateNovember 2016

Loved our time at the Mountain House Birder's Cottage! The place was exactly as described, spacious, clean and very comfy. Megan and Roger are great host. The place was so quiet, for nature lovers, it is definitely the perfect place. One night wasn't enough so we will definitely come back.

Megan and Roger were the most wonderful hosts. They couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. The Cottage was clean, spacious and practical, with everything we could want in it. We particularly appreciated their knowledge about the local wildlife, and especially the bird life. If you want a relaxing weekend, not too far from Brisbane, with birdlife and wildlife - this is the place. The highlight of our weekend was seeing the Phascogale and then Antechinus from Megan and Roger's front verandah at dusk - what a treat!! We talked about it all weekend. We did a lovely walk around Mt Glorious and then around the property itself. Birdwatching from the Cottage porch was lovely. We thoroughly recommend this place, especially to bird watchers - we'll be back!

KarenFebruary 2016

The place was great for some peace and quiet however I took a sportscar and recommend you take a higher set car for the gravel driveway. There is a distinct lack of curtains which made me feel quite exposed. The sliding door looking over the land has no curtains which would have been fine if the host only approached via the front door as it looks directly into the bedroom. I was having dinner the second night with local friends and packed up without returning due to the driveway and privacy issues. If more private I would have hidden away and spoken to nobody!

DallasAugust 2016

Our host Megan & Roger made us feel very welcome & we really enjoyed our short stay (only one night). The cottage was great with everything required for an enjoyable stay. The location was great & very peaceful. I highly recommend the Mountain House Birder's cottage!

GlenAugust 2016

Megan was very helpful and went the extra mile. Wounderful and peaceful surroundings

CameronAugust 2016

Our hosts were very approachable and welcoming from when we first booked. Even though our party had staggered arrival times they were there to greet us and ensure that we were all orientated to our accommodation the most spectacular scenery that surrounded us, I wish we had the time to stay longer! The cottage was exactly what we needed and perfect for a getaway for the weekend. Thankyou very much for letting us stay on your beautiful property and ensuring we had a comfortable stay. :-)

We have a boxer puppy at the moment who is still learning his manners :) so may be a little jumpy with smaller children. We are early risers (between 6 - 7am), and while we are mindful of being quiet when guests are staying, we still need to access the kitchen in the mornings. If you feel this will negatively impact your Airbnb experience, we suggest you find alternate accommodation.

I had a lovely stay at Brownyn and Ron's house. Lovely house with lovely dog, Jasper. Pub is only 5 minutes walk, perfect for travelling.

StephenOctober 2016

The home is very clean, comfortable and spacious, the owner is friendly and likes to chat and was home most of the time. Personally I prefer a little more privacy and as this was my first Airbnb experience I know now to look for separate quarters in future.

RosalieOctober 2016

Bronwyn was an excellent host and went above and beyond to ensure that our time in Samford was well spent. The house was spotless and very central. We would definitely recommend staying with Bronwyn when in Samford.

Shane & KateAugust 2016

Exactly as described. Very clean. Helpful and polite hosts. Close to everything in the village - less than 2 min walk to the Samford Hall, the IGA, the local park and the Samford pub. Couldn't get a more central location. Price great. Friendly hosts met me with a smile. The room (and the bathroom beside was very clean and tidy. Location if attending a party in Samford Village can not be beaten.

Bronwyn and Ron were so welcoming and the accommodation was faultless. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for accommodation in the Samford area.

Lovely hosts. Very friendly and accommodating. Made us feel very welcome and comfortable in their home. Perfect location for our needs within walking distance of everything in Samford Village. Would be happy to recommend this airbnb.

DebbieAugust 2016

Bronwyn was a very warm, welcoming host. Nothing was a problem for her. Especially when my husband lost a button, Bronwyn was quick to loan me a pair of scissors to complete the mending. Then the sole of my heel fell off immediately before my husband and I were leaving for a wedding. Bronwyn and her husband went out of their way to mend my shoe. The room and amenities were immaculate. The location of her home was conveniently close to the venue we attended for a friends wedding. Thanks again for your warmth and hospitality Bronwyn.

Enjoy the peace & serenity of country life. Our 2 acres supports many beautiful birds, kangaroos, the occasional koala, and possums. Your ensuited room and separate lounge with TV awaits. With a huge pool, large covered, insulated entertainment area which is great for outdoor eating, BBQ, and Bali hut we hope you will find your own lovely spot of peace and comfort.

Nestled at the very end of a country road cul-de-sac, it is a very peaceful, secluded area. No stairs, flat parking. Our house has fairly easy & direct access from the Bruce Highway, from north or south. If you need directions, just ask.
We have good security, and you will be issued with your own access code to the house. We will always be here to greet you on arrival. Your double bedroom directly accesses your private bathroom. There is a separate lounge if you want peace and quiet. You are welcome to soak up the sun or watch the sunset in the Bali Hut, share the swimming pool and entertainment area.
We have travelled for several years, and enjoy meeting people, so would interact, or leave you in peace. The choice is yours.

All our cul-de-sac properties are all 1.5 acres or larger, so you are surrounded by trees and bush. Our property is private, but our neighbours "look out for each other". Clear Mountain Resort Restaurant is only about 8 mins away if you wished to enjoy a special meal or breakfast with fantastic views.The lovely village of Samford is 10 mins, with many restaurants and a gorgeous gift shop. Eatons Hill has a very popular Tavern; Albany Creek has restaurants, supermarket, banks etc. and is also about 10 mins drive.
Your own transport would be necessary. Easy access from the Bruce Hwy, north or south. Local shops and restaurants are 10 mins away. Approx 35 mins to the City. Rail is approx 20 mins away, and takes about 40 mins to the city.
We have no pets, and no fences, so our property is not suitable for pets. Kangaroos, koalas, possums and many different birds consider our property (and our vegies) theirs.
There is no public transport.

Elizabeth and John are among the best hosts we have ever seen. They were so friendly and welcoming people. Their house was clean and well decorated. I and my wife stayed 4 days in their house, and we really enjoyed. We had a lot of conversation with Elizabeth and John over many topics. We learned a lot about Western culture. Anyway, that was a very memorable experience for us. We will come back again if we come to Brisbane in future.

Elizabeth and John were the perfect hosts. They were welcoming, generous, and very interesting to talk to. The bed was super comfortable (I wanted to take it home with me), and the amenities clean. They had a lovely welcoming sign to greet us, they set the fire, and provided everything we needed for our one-night stay. The house is set in the bush, which means there was no traffic noise, and very quiet sleeping conditions. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and John's AirBNB.

LisaJuly 2016

From the greeting we received when we arrived to the final farewell hug on departure, Elizabeth & John made us feel so welcome in their wonderful home. Our room was exactly as described and was spotless. The location, for us, was perfect. John was even so kind to give us a lift out, on the Friday night. Much appreciated, thank you John. We thoroughly enjoyed sharing our various travel stories and would absolutely recommend staying here. We arrived as strangers, but left as friends! Thank you Elizabeth & John, for your kind hospitality.

SamanthaOctober 2016

As our very first Airbnb experience john and Elizabeth were more than welcoming. Very friendly and interesting couple, walked away feeling like we had known them for a long time. Very comfortable stay. Hoping our next Airbnb hosts will be just as warming to us.

PinaNovember 2016

Warm hosts with lots of interesting stories, trips and projects. Very generous with their space and amenities. Beautiful home with a fire place and a pool. We would have liked to stay longer to explore the beautiful nature around your place.

CecileJuly 2016

We were made to feel very welcome. Elizabeth and John welcomed us into their home like friends. It was a chilly night and the fire was lit and we had a lovely evening sharing stories about travel. They gave us information about the area that was appreciated. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom clean and conveniently situated next to the bedroom. It is in a very quiet area and yes we did wake to the bird song. Thank you Elizabeth and John for making our short stay so memorable, we hope to return.

The end bedroom has access straight outside to the deck area and to kitchen/bathroom so you don't have to come back through the 3rd bedroom. You can see all 4 bedrooms in the pictures.

The description was very accurate and we absolutely loved our stay. Idyllic paradise was a beautiful spot with great added extras. We loved the pool and dam and had perfect weather. Pizza oven and fresh dough was delicious. They had thought of all the little touches that make a stay more comfortable. Bait for the fishing rods all ready to go. The day bed was our favourite spot. It was a great environment for a long weekend and we can't wait to go back.

Don and Jaci's place was amazing! It looks even nicer in real life and they're so friendly and accommodating. Everyone who stayed here said that it was so relaxing. We can't get over how close it is to the city yet how remote it feels. There's so much to do: canoeing in the lake, cooking on the bbq and pizza oven, going for a walk, feeding the cows, fishing, playing darts, relaxing on the daybed and swimming. We also enjoyed getting fresh herbs and veggies from the garden, as well as eggs from their chickens. They were very thoughtful and included nice touches like milk and fruit in the fridge, and even fresh pizza dough from a local restaurant. Some of the yummiest pizza we've ever had! We would highly recommend staying here!

Our guesthouse offers a romantic escape, or maybe just a place to unwind. You can soak up the bird songs from your garden alfresco and watch the local horse riders go by, head into the village for its quirky cafes, explore the local pony trails or enjoy hiking through the nearby rainforests of Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious.
We enjoy a safe, quiet, friendly, country-style neighbourhood that is still only half an hour from the city, so its perfect for couples, adventurers, and business travellers.

We live about 30 minutes drive to Brisbane City, or about 45 minutes drive to Brisbane Airport. You can catch also catch a train to Ferny Grove Station, but will then need to drive for about 12 minutes or catch a taxi to arrive at our place. For daily commuters, driving to the station and catching the train into the city takes around about an hour door-to-door.
The Guesthouse is separate from the main house and private. It is on a single level with no stairs, but would not be wheel chair friendly.
The bedroom has a queen sized bed, built in robe, and plenty of storage and hanging space. The lounge room has a three seater lounge, TV, DVD, and CD player. The kitchen has a full sized fridge/freezer, microwave, stove, and is well stocked with cooking utensils and kitchenware. The bathroom has a shower, toilet, washing machine, laundry tub, iron and ironing board. There is also a private alfresco area with a table and chairs that is perfect for enjoying the sunrises, sunsets, and the amazing Samford night skies.
We also have plenty of room for parking. Small cars can be parked under cover, and large vehicles such as caravans, campervans, trailers etc can all be accommodated.
The Guesthouse is separate from the main house so you will have as much privacy as you desire. Derek and Megan work full-time and have busy schedules with their children, but are more than happy to chat and help you with local knowledge or whatever you need to make your stay as fulfilling and enjoyable as possible.

We live in the beautiful Samford Valley, and Samford Village is only 4 minutes drive away. An informative write up on Samford is here:

The village has a vibrant weekend café culture for those looking for a relaxing coffee and breakfast, and draws the horse riders, bike riders, and motoring enthusiasts from far and wide. The village has a grocery store, petrol station, restaurants, fast food stores, medical centre, butcher, chemist, banks etc.

Our home is set on 3.8 acres of horse pasture, gardens, and mature trees, and our neighbours all enjoy similar acreage properties with a variety of livestock including goats, sheep, horses, cows and alpacas. Its a quiet neighbourhood that looks green and lush if we've had good rain, and since we are away from the suburban and city lights the night skies are truly spectacular.
Travellers would be best served by having their own transport. Public transport to the city is available from Ferny Grove station which is about a 12 minute drive away.

Its was lovely staying at Helen and Brents self contained unit. The unit was big and attached to the side of the house which gave you alot of privacy, everything you need is there. Helen is a wonderful host and so friendly, she can even pick you up from the airport as her business is transferring people from the airport to the local area where the bnb is.

Katie, Matthew & LilyFebruary 2013

Helen and Brent were fantastic hosts, we truly couldn't have asked for more. The flat is spacious and homely, beds super comfortable, and loads of info about the local area was provided. Helen went out of her way to help us settle in and gave us so much advice and recommendations for the local area, it was fantastic. And their dog is a complete sweetheart, and very tolerant of our toddler's constant games :D

LeahMay 2012

Our stay was wonderful: very nice house, clean and friendly, large garden, Josie (the dog) is fantastic. Helen and Brent were incredibly hospitable and made us feel at home from day one. We went back to Italy sad, but comforted that we have found in Helen, Brent and their family, new friends on the other side of the world. We strongly recommend Helen, Brent and family as excellent hosts. CI VEDIAMO PRESTO :-) Daniele and Irene.

In a word, tremendous. Shea was accommodating from the outset. She met us as we arrived, have us the tour and then we were left to enjoy the comfortable space provided. Thank you

DanielMarch 2015

Everything about this property was just beautiful. Shea and her husband are beautiful people- friendly and helpful; The surrounding area is beautiful- serene bushland; and the granny flat was beautiful- fully equipped kitchen, great bedroom, and lounge. There was even a little deck that came from the lounge and overlooked the bush. It was so peaceful to eat breakfast on the deck and look out to the trees.

AlishaSeptember 2014

The property was perfect, we were welcomed by their wonderful dogs and the guest house was everything we could have wanted. During our stay we felt removed enough from the city to relax but close enough to not feel isolated. Our hosts were the best part, they welcomed us with open arms and gave us as much attention as we wanted. The guest house had a full kitchen and washing machine, everything we needed to save money and feel at home. The back yard is beautiful, it backs right up to a green paradise. All in all, a magnificent experience!

TaylorApril 2015

Shea, Peter and the kids were great host. The flat was comfortable and close to Samford. We stayed for a number of weeks so we had a few general issues with things not working. We would stay again. Megan and Andrew.

AndrewDecember 2015

Shea and her family were lovely hosts. The apartment was exactly as described, and extra touches like setting up a porta cot with fresh sheets were the icing on the cake. A beautiful setting, lush green grass and privacy amongst the trees. Such a relaxing atmosphere, and they truly went out of their way to please.

KathrynNovember 2015

We had a lovely stay in this nice, quiet retreat in the countryside. Our hosts were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed, and also gave us some great advice about things to do in the area and beyond. Highly recommended for a lovely rural break from the nearby city or beaches

KevinFebruary 2016

This is our second stay, once again we had a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend staying

ElizaJune 2015

Pete and Shea were very helpful hosts and their kids are adorable. The unit was a full private apartment and had everything we needed. We loved the little nearby town of Samford and it was a great bouncing off location for day trips to Brisbane, Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast.

We have a lovely, quiet bushland setting home at the end of a Cul-de-sac. We look out over natural bush. You have your own kitchenette, lounge area, large patio, toilet and shower area. Our home and gardens are totally smoke-free. We have 3 beds (1 QS, 2 King Single), we can add 2 floor mattresses for children. You’ll love the outdoors space, bushland reserve & fire pit. Most of the year we have koalas in our trees, that house over 20 species of birds. My place is good for couples and families.

Our fully self contained ground floor area is new, clean and comfortable. Our kitchenette enables you to make simple meals and snacks. You are supplied with scrumptious free continental breakfasts and we are very happy to supply gluten free and lactose free options. Just let us know ahead of time if you have any special dietary needs. We live upstairs. We keep the house and gardens smoke-free. There are no pets so people with allergies will love our space. We supply linen and towels and can change them after a week if you are staying longer, just ask us if you would like to avail yourselves of this service, for a small service fee of $20.
You will be able to use the internal staircase in the main house area anytime, but especially at night. During the day in dry weather there is a "goat track" to the big, lockable, glass sliding doors of your downstairs living area that opens onto your spacious patio. This track is uneven and unlit and is not suitable for wheeling luggage over or for wet weather or night time access. Families love our cigarette smoke-free space because you have full access to the large, flat yard and the well-stocked fire pit.
You can have as much privacy or interaction with us as you wish. We work almost full time but are home some of the time. We live upstairs in our own separate wing of the house but we are happy to interact and chat about the local area and things to do. We are usually available via mobile phone if we are not home. You might hear footsteps from the upstairs area in the mornings, but most of the time you can just enjoy the sounds of nature.

We live in a beautiful new housing estate with 50% of the land reserved for parks and a nature reserve track that you can walk along, jog through and ride a mountain bike through. We have public BBQs and a large playground just down the hill. There are great Indian, Thai and fish and chip restaurants 5 to 10 minutes drive east from us in Ferny Hills. The Indian takeaway is open until 10 pm at night! Ten minutes drive. To the north is Albany Creek that has many restaurants and fine dining options. There is a public 50 metre outdoor heated swimming pool that some of our olympic athletes train in. Samford is a small rural hamlet with amazing coffee shops, craft shops, restaurants, private art galleries, a pub and the famous Samford Show grounds.
There is no public transport or shops within walking distance. Our house needs a car to access. We live at the end of a very quiet dead end street with ample parking.
We have free range koalas in our back yard trees. They roam the trees in the neighbourhood. You can often hear them at night, especially in the spring and summer months. You have full access to the gas fired BBQ. For a small fee of $10 per load we can wash and dry clothes for you. We have fibre-optic cabling to our home so that internet access and downloading speed is fantastic! Telstra phone reception is excellent. Bunya is only 12 kilometres from the GPO and is not far from The Prince Charles Hospital and Holy Spirit Northside, so it is easy to visit loved ones there.
Bunya is the jumping off point for many day hikes or short bush walks and overnight camping adventures in the D'Aguilar ranges. We can supply maps and lots of free advice!

Be sure to visit the amazing Cedar Creek Falls
Only 14kms to the quaint country town of Samford
Walking distance to the amazing Cedar Creek Falls & other beautiful, private creeks, short drive to the beautiful country Samford Village, only 36kms to Brisbane City

Bylinda is a star in a league of her own! Not only is this house breathtaking as few, Bylinda had arranged fresh flowers, toys for the kids, lovely amenities and a fully stocked pantry ready for us upon arrival. Everything was immaculate and far beyond any expectations. We had a week in heaven and can only recommend this beautiful house with its great pool and breathtaking views to anybody who is in search of a luxurious, relaxing and serene experience. Thank you, Bylinda!

(EMAIL HIDDEN)September 2016

Upon arriving to Maryam's house, I couldn't help but notice the beautiful area in which they live. If you're looking for somewhere quiet and safe then look no further ! When I arrived to the house I was instantly greeted with a warm welcome from Maryam and her husband which made me feel right at home, I was offered some delicious tea and really got the chance to relax. The house itself was very spacious and clean and their 20 month old daughter Emily was so well behaved. Maryam and her husband created a very homely environment and were very friendly and easy to get along with which made my stay even more pleasurable. My overnight stay was extremely peaceful as my room offered great privacy and comfort. In the morning I was able to shower and Maryam was kind enough to lay out a complimentary breakfast. Overall my stay with Maryam and her family was very positive and I would love to stay again, I definitely recommend this place to others !

LachlanMarch 2016

Maryam, Mohammed and Emily are a wonderful family. They were really welcoming, helpful and hospitable. They made beautiful tea, and food and Emily is lovely and so well behaved. We only stayed one night but it was a great place to relax, clean, laidback and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

Lauren-OliviaJanuary 2016

Maryam and her family were lovely hosts, very welcoming and generous in letting us use there main living area and kitchen during our stay.

JoApril 2016

Maryam and Mohammed were our first hosts after a long trip to Australia. They welcomed us into their home and gave us a wonderful space to relax and sleep. We had all the privacy we needed and we also had the chance to talk and exchange and learn. They gave us valuable tips for places to see and to shop. Thank you!
